Dead tree outside numbet 55 The Green
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1269049-V6Y4L1.
The tree has been dead for over a year now. It has been reposted before and was also addressed to the council when works was been done to renew gas pipes. The three has started to become vulnerable and with the weather and winds we have had it has started to drop branches which could injure pedestrians

Thank you for your report. Following our most recent inspection, we have identified this tree as dead and prescribed it for replacement as part of routine maintenance.
Please understand that we are unable to maintain all street trees simultaneously. Borough-wide tree maintenance is prioritised by risk to public safety, so lower-risk trees will be addressed as work progresses on higher-risk ones. We apologise for not being able to provide a specific date at this time, but we are managing the work as efficiently as possible within our resource limits.
